Use Case: CA Agile Central integration with Salesforce

Problem statement: The sales team in an organization uses Salesforce and the product development team uses CA Agile Central. As these systems are not integrated, it becomes cumbersome for the sales team to follow up with backend team on each case.Solution: If Salesforce and CA Agile Central are integrated, the sales team will not have to manually coordinate with the product development team.

The sales team, using Salesforce, receives a request from a potential customer for a customer feature in the product.

The sales team, then, logs the request as an ‘idea’ in Salesforce with multiple attachments of the e-mails from the customer. The idea synchronizes to CA Agile Central as a ‘feature’ along with the attachments.

The product manager, using CA Agile Central, analyzes the ‘feature’ request and responds to sales team with the possibility of executing this request and estimated effort.

The sales team then speaks to the customer about the estimated cost and possible delivery deadline. As per the discussion, the sales team adds further details to the ‘idea’ in Salesforce.

The details from Salesforce synchronize to the ‘feature’ request. The product manager then approves the request and shares it with the backend team.
